One of my PhD students, Sarah, is looking to speak to Respiratory Nurses - her research explores whether ethnicity influences medicines adherence for people living with Asthma/COPD 🫁🌎 We’d love to hear your opinions! If interested, DM me or email Sarah (see flyer). #COPDresearch #asthmaresearch

Congratulations to Dr Rayah Asiri on passing her PhD viva today! Rayah's PhD research, titled 'Understanding the influence of ethnicity on medicine adherence', contributes more important and much-needed knowledge to the evidence base around medicines inequalities. @newcastleuni.bsky.social
